Emerson was playful and winning in hi:
ways with his children, but he did not otter
romp with them, and ne discouraged their de
voting the early hours, even Of a holiday, tc
amusement. "He taught us that at breakfast
all must be calm and sweet, nothing must jar
we must not begin the day with light reading
or games; our first and best hours should be
occupied in q way to match the sweet and
serious morning"
From the age of - or IA he thought they
should be encouraged as much as possible to
regulate their own conduct. He would put
the case, and leave them to think and at for
themselves; and he did not fear tn inrulcate,
even at this age, the whole of his own doc
trine of self reliance. To one If his daugh-
tiers who was away from horne al school, he
writes:
"Finish every day and be done with it.
For manners and for wise living 1t is a vice

could; some hlunders and absurditles no
doubt crept III, forget them as soon as you
can. Tomorrow is new day; you shall be

spirit to be numbered with your Old nonsense.
This day for all that is good and fair. 1t is
too dear, with its hopes and invitations, to

People who have sought relief during the
heated term at the various seaside resorts
which dot the coast of New Jersey have suf-
fered at intervals from plague Of musqui-
toes and black gnats Others, who preferred
the mountains and inland attractions, have
suffered greatly from contact with poison ivy.
The former found a remedy in peunyroyal
and brush fires, but many of the poisoned
ones got no relief They have not responded
to treatment As rule, lime water, butter
milk and oxide of zinc ointment, into which
a little white precipitate has been rubbed,
will effect cure. This year it seems as
though the poison has had to run itself out.
gentleman, however, who after suffering
for ten days more torture than usually falls
to the lot of man, finally got relief in the fol-
lowing manner: He saturated a slice of
bread with water, and then spread over it a
goodly amount of soda This plaster he ap-
piled to the eruption and kept the application
moist by dropping water upon the bread as
fast as the moisture was absorbed or evapor-
ated This dissolved the soda crystals on the
skin, and gave almost immediate and perma-
nent relief So badly was he poisoned that at
one time he bad on his body twenty-one of

For twenty years there has lived on Fifth
avenue, within biscuit toss of Madison
square, a man whose profession is, probably,
sui generis. He is absolutely human ency-
clopadia-a man of reference befacetted
from the crown of his head to the soles of his
feet with absolute information upon all the
known ologies, languages, professions and
trades He is of Hebrew blood and an ag-
nostic. He is now about 50 years of age, al
though he looks younger and has not grown
day older in appearance during the past de-
cade Interested from his youth up in edu-
cation, he conceived the idea, some twenty
years or more ago, of turning his gifts of
erudition and memory to his own account,
commercially, and to that of his fellow men,
intellectually, and has thrived apace since he

A Holocaust of Horses.


New YORK, May 7.-Flames broke
out at 1870 a. m. In the South End belt
line stables, on Tenth avenue and Fifty
fourth street. The building was entirely
destroyed, with 1000 horses and nearly
all the cars In the building. Two blocks
OF buildings are also IN flames. Flames
were first seen by one Of the night
hands, who gave the alarm. The flames
spread rapidly and soon completely en-
velOped the building. The building
was q five-story structure, covered a
square block and reached back 10 Elev-
enth avenue. The upper stories were
occupied by repair shops and combusti-
BILE material, which blazed as soon as
touched by fire. The offices were stu
ated In the southwest corner of the
burning building.
The fire at the belt line stables was
got under control at O'Clock this morn
Ing. The stables with their contents and
the frame houses on the opposite sides
Of 10th avenue and down 54th street
were destroyed. The loss will not be
much less than 100000. Elizabeth
Walsh, aged 76, one OF the occupants OF
the house No. $40, west 54th street,
which burned, was sick In bed. The pO-
lice rescued her and brought her to the
sidewalk, where che expired from fright

Local Medical Cranks,

There is some fun In the Medical asso-
citation just now. Certain straight
laced idiosyncraoial members jump up
on their members who advertise, and II
any complimentary allusion OF doctor
appears In the public press, they 20 for
him with vehemence. Several cases of
this kind recently occurred. A short
time ago grateful patient came to the
LIGHT and insisted upon putting In tes-
timOnial to popular doctor, paying for
1t as an advertisement. The doctor did
not want 1t, and would have stopped it
IL he could, but he did not know OF 1t.
Malice on the one hand and Jealousy on
the other prompted his meaner brethren
brethren to attack him In the associa-
ton, and they did 30, but the high char
acter OF the doctor sustained him. There
Is, however, one good side to this fool
ishness. There are discourteous and
dognatical doctors in this city who pro-
fess TO have no use for the reporters, ex-
oept when they want cheap puff, and
the reporters have less use for them.
Now the reporter can get even with
those doctors by putting them literally,
for in that case they will at least be
oarpeted by the association and have
some trouble.
The fact is the Medical association
properly conducted, is good thing for
the profession and the public, but there
has been so much foOlishness about II
that 1t Is brought into contempt. Medi-
cal cranks are responsible for the ridi-
Guile.
